did you hear the news?12.15.2010

This man made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

(For those of you asking where Neil was on the playlist, just wait. I’ve been listening to his BEST SONG EVER over and over during the writing of both MATCHED and CROSSED, but in the end decided to save it for CROSSED because it makes the most sense thematically on that playlist.)

People have been asking me who I’d like to see cast in the movie and it has just come to me: Neil should be Grandfather. I know, he’s a bit young, but they can age him, and we KNOW Neil can act from The Jazz Singer.
Plus, that voice. Have you heard him talk? He even sounds awesome when he’s just speaking, not singing.

Anyway. Congratulations, Neil. You deserve it.

(And don’t forget about the NPR interview tonight!) See post below for details.

It’s about stinking time! I mean, no one rocks like Mr. Diamond. It’s so fitting that both you and he are having major success at the same time. It just confirms that you two have a special bond. I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas!
